Family Guy Review: "Dial Meg for Murder"

Poor Meg has been the butt of Family Guy jokes for eight seasons now and she finally got her chance to get her revenge on her family and fellow students in last night's "Dial Meg for Murder." So how did the half hour of Meg going postal end up?

Well unfortunately, the episode was a little too offensive and horrible, even for an episode of Family Guy. While we've come to accept the show's attempts to further and further push the envelope, did we really need to see a baby get punched and a grown man anally raped... by two different people? One of which was his own daughter!?

For those of you with thicker skin to child abuse and rape, the episode had plenty of laughs and was definitely fun for anyone annoyed by Meg's treatment. Who wasn't smiling when she slowly loaded a bag with soda cans, knowing full well what she was going to do.

The episode also guest starred Chace Crawford as he painfully attempted to voice Luke. Apparently this guy needs to stick to Gossip Girl, because this stud has a face for television, not a voice for radio. Luckily, Luke only had two scenes and our favorite character Consuela saved the first and the handicapable jokes at Joe's expense saved the second.

Our final complaint about the episode is the use of realistic photos. When this bit was first introduced by South Park it was hilarious. When Family Guy occasionally uses it, it's still funny. However, using two real life photos in one episode? Time to fire some of those manatees.

Who are we kidding? We know you guys loved the episode and come here for our Family Guy quotes and not the review. They're after the jump.
